Wilko Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 "Strange days indeed" John LennonINTERESTING STATISTIC Regardless of where you stand on the issue of the U.S. involvement in Iraq, here's a sobering statistic: There has been a monthly average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theatre of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2,112 deaths. That gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers. The firearm death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000 persons for the same period. That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. Capital than you are in Iraq. Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington.

Lori Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 You may be overlooking the seemingly daily suicide bombers. The Americans can't seem to kill those guys before they kill others. Don't get me wrong, I am in NO way supporting the horrible situation going on over there. It must be the biggest military disaster of my lifetime and perhaps of ALL time. I feel very sorry for the Iraqi people. So many cannot flee and have no where to hide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
